SSD or no SSD (Solid State Drive)? x64 or x32?
For a $1500 system, which is my budget, not for games but for coding,
should I get a Solid State Drive and if so, can I have it work in tandem with (maybe Raid_?) a traditional rotating platter HD? I figure 100 GB SSD is enough for the C drive (SSD), then use a D drive that's traditional partitioned into two components, a FAT32 for Ghosting the C drive and a NTFS for extra space (I usually put all 'junk' programs I don't really care to backup on d Also does anybody see backwards compatibility problems with an x64 system? In theory no, but I also use IIS, Visual Studio, etc some of these programs are very quirky and/or temperamental. RL |

Yes. A good compromise is the OS and apps on the SSD and the traditional for data storage. Also does anybody see backwards compatibility problems with an x64 system? In theory no, but I also use IIS, Visual Studio, etc some of these programs are very quirky and/or temperamental. Windows Vista/7 x64 has been fine for me. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk |
